what is difference between stipend and scholership ?

reply me plz...............

Stipend and Scholarship are two completely different terms which is related to student life especially the professional courses undertaking student's life to a great extent. Stipend is a term which is also related to professional life but scholarship is mainly related to the student life.

Stipend is a specific amount of money which is given to interns mostly on successful completion of a project. Even during various training before joining companies, stipends are given by the companies to the trainees which can termed as their salaries for that specific period of time.

On the other hand, scholarship is the amount which is mainly given to the students to either encourage them to undertake further studies or due to their excellent performance in the field of academics. There are various organizations which give scholarships for various research works, good performance in academics and help the financially unstable students to pursue their education.

No, there is no need to refund or return the stipend received during post graduation or research work unless you have not violated any of the norms of the organization giving stipend.

What is the relation between the stipend offered to QIP PhD scholars and MHRD scholarship offered to PhD scholar? Is there any GR specifying the relation between the two?
